What a great experience! First off, they saved our trip. We were going to Orcas for a wedding and…read moredid not realize we wouldn't be able to use Uber/Lyft. The first time I called I think I spoke to Doug (I was in a panic), even though he couldn't get me a car he was so helpful and friendly, offering info for other ways to try to remedy our situation. I ended up calling back because he had mentioned having a car for part of the days and I fugured it was better than nothing. This time I spoke with Megan who was also super friendly and helpful. She said, hang on I think I can make something happen for you. She got a car for the whole trip! Secondly, the whole process is a breeze! You pay ahead and get a confirmation email with all the info you could need, a map to get from the ferry to your vehicle (a very short walk), and a code to get in the car. They even have a sticky note with your name on the window. No waiting around in line, signing a bunch of stuff, like a corporate rental company. When you drop it off you just fill it up and leave it where you found it. I don't know if all the vehicles are like this but it was a hybrid so spent barely any money on gas! Would recommend them a million times over!

I was on Orca's Island for a week and we exclusively used Orca's Island Taxi Service once we landed…read morein Eastsound as we did not rent a car. Eric and Mathis were great, always on time and had outstanding knowledge of not just Orcas but all the islands. I appreciated Eric's dry humor and we were incredibly sad to leave the island. As an example of his service when we first landed he took us to the grocery store so we could stock and then held our luggage to complete other rides and came back and got us. He helped unload our luggage and our groceries. Thank you Eric for the great service and the laughs.

Seagull Nest on Orcas Island - is amazing!!! We will be back!!…read more Now for more details. Seagull Nest allows you to experience the beautiful island and outdoors, and to recharge your batteries!! The house is set up with everyone in mind, there are areas for kids to play, quiet places for adults to curl up with a great book and spaces to gather as a family or a group of friends. Great for families, friends or just for yourself. Well furnished with everything you will need. Love the outdoor areas (see pictures) where there is enough space for everyone to relax and enjoy grilling or you can have something catered. You can settle into the lovely hot tub or just sit in rocking chairs on the lanai and enjoy the view and the wild life. Yes, deer just come by throughout the day (see picture). You can definitely enjoy outdoor activities, but there are still many options for those of us that are not into outdoor living. Definitely a house that we will be going back to soon!! Maybe next time for a girls' weekend. Yoga on the lanai and wine by the fireplaces.

I highly recommend them.

We have been renting summer vacation homes on Orcas through Cherie Lindholm for 18 years and have…read morenever, ever had an issue. They communicate clearly, are professional, and yet are also truly caring about any concern (of which we've had less than a handful in all this time). We just left the island after two weeks (wah) and received exemplary care from this agency from start (reservation in January) to finish. We had one minor facilities issue while we were there and a worker arrived at our door in less than half an hour to work to resolve it. The homes are beautiful (and no, I'm not going to tell you where the best one is - it will remain my secret) and Karen and her team at Cherie Lindholm are outstanding. We are already counting the days 'til next summer.

It was very easy to deal with this agency, but I definitely would not stay in the rental that we…read moreselected again. We stayed in rental #7, which is located near Obstruction Pass. It's not just that it was seriously out of date, I can deal with that. It's that it wasn't functional, I think, for many families. It was a four bedroom as represented, no doubt about that. However, two of the bedrooms were attic-type bedrooms which had ceilings that were approximately 5'5" tall. This really didn't work out for my husband, as he is over six feet. Also, both of the bathrooms were on the main floor, which was very inconvenient. The worst part is that the stairway to upstairs was a seventies-style (as in no risers, just treads) with no railing at all. My parents, who are both in their seventies, did not feel comfortable staying in the rooms on the upper floor because they were concerned about falling. To exit the rooms on the upper floor, you have to step up and over a wall that is approximately 9-12 inches tall, which was a particular trip hazard for one of the rooms, as it led directly to the stairway. If you were to trip when exiting this room, you would definitely fall down the stairs. I went back and looked at the photos on the website, and this feature was not clearly represented at all. I would definitely not recommend this for families with young children, primarily because of the stairs. Everything needed updated at this vacation rental, not because it was no longer stylish, but because it was worn out. The bedding at this home was very old. One bedroom had sheets that were obviously worn, and had a small hole in them. The bedspreads in the upper rooms were circa 1979. I'm not being snarky, they really did look that old and battered. Our box spring was actually two twin-size box springs pushed together under a queen size mattress. Guess what? That's not that comfortable to sleep on. Much of the furniture looked like it had been purchased from Goodwill. One chair had a broken arm, one chair had a seat that had been repaired with plywood, the couch upstairs had a tear in it, and the coffee table in the living room was actually two small end tables that were pushed together. One lamp was broken; as in, could not plug in because the plug-in portion was destroyed. We did not opt to pay the additional fee for cleaning, so on Saturday night and Sunday morning, began the work of cleaning the home. Surprise! There was not adequate cleaning supplies available. No cleanser to clean the shower with, the "scrubbing bubbles" container was empty, and the Lysol can provided was so old, it was significantly rusty. Ridiculous! This house is currently for sale, so I am guessing that the current owners don't want to invest money into making this a functional vacation rental. It seems like they are just getting what money they can out of it until it sells. BTW, they showed the home during the week that we were there, so keep that in mind if you're looking for privacy. I would give this rental a one star rating, but the view from the deck was amazing. Straight out at Obstruction Island, and the sparkling water. That, at least, worked out.
